2 Objectives Underground Coal Gasification has potential in Alberta UCG background UCG and groundwater Laurus Energy Demonstration Project Multi disciplined approach to project assessment Geologic and hydrogeologic setting Geologic mapping Hydrogeologic numerical model
3 What is UCG? coal gasification converts coal into synthesis gas (syngas) can be applied to mined coal at the surface (Genesee) UCG applied to non mined coal seams using injection and production wells oxidant injected, coal is ignited and burns (up to 1250 o C), series of chemical reactions = syngas syngas uses: chemical feedstock or fuel for electrical power generation (e.g. IGCC) UCG produces a relatively pure stream of H 2 (upgrading) CO 2 byproduct is easily stripped from syngas (CCS, EOR)
4 UCG Timeline Late 1800 s Theory Development 1930 s to 1960 s More than 12 commercial plants in USSR 1960 s to 2000 Pilot projects in North America and Europe 21 st Century Commercial development in North America, Australia and Africa
5 How can UCG effect groundwater? water is needed as a reactant the rate of water influx into the coal seams influences the quality and composition of the syngas. Basic Equation: Coal + O 2 + H 2 O H 2 + CO Water gas shift: H 2 O + CO CO 2 + H 2 byproducts created include heat, water with dissolved concentrations of ammonia, phenols, salts, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and liquid organic products from the pyrolysis of coal.

7 εucg Process Overview εucg Process successfully applied at Chinchilla site in Australia from : no groundwater contamination no subsidence no surface contamination controlled shutdown property returned to prior use annual independent audits and full compliance with environmental regulations 9 process wells; capacity 80,000 Nm3/h (eq. 70MWe) 35,000 t of coal extracted, Over 80 million m 3 of gas, LHV=5.0 MJ/Nm 3, p = 1100 kpa, t = 300 o C Courtesy of Ergo Exergy Technologies Inc.
8 UCG in Alberta Geologic conditions: seam thickness structurally integral, continuous 1 1. Mannville coals Swan Hills Synfuels with Alberta Energy Research Institute, 2008 Hydrogeologic conditions: saturated conditions sufficient hydrostatic pressure hydraulically isolated from surrounding aquifers 2 2. Ardley coals Laurus Energy, Horseshoe Canyon coals Nordic Oil and Gas, (Alberta Department of Energy, Coal Activity Map, July 30, 2009), Information from Pana (2009)
9 Laurus Energy Demonstration Project y near Drayton Valley, Alberta y Demonstration to produce 70,000 Sm3/d of syngas for one year, approx 9,865 t of coal to be extracted y groundwater monitoring before, during and after demonstration project
10 Hydrogeology Assessment study area boundaries based on surface hydrologic features where possible surface topography is rolling high in SW decreasing towards NE and Wabamun Lake Farmland with active oil and gas production, coal mining Pembina River Wabamun Lake North Saskatchewan River
11 Geological Setting target for gasification is the Ardley geologic units dip gently towards SW Ardley coal zone subcrops near Wabamun Lake Ardley at 200 m depth at project 111 wells within the RSA reviewed and 2 regional cross sections, integrated with public data (AGS, etc.)
12 Paskapoo Formation Facies Models From Galloway and Sharp (1998) Laramie River, Wyoming Wikipedia, 2010
13 Paskapoo Formation deposited in ancient non marine, fluvial channels and floodplains (Dawson et al., 1994) Stacked and amalgamated channels up to 50 m thick (Pana, 2007 and Grasby et al., 2008) sandstone exposed in outcrop due to weathering, actually >50% siltstone and shale in subsurface (Grasby et al., 2008) Paskapoo Formation sandstone, Calgary, Wikipedia, 2010
14 Paskapoo Formation NW SE PKSS4 PKSS1 PKSS2 PKSS3 sheet like, laterally extensive, amalgamated channel sandstone bodies (Pana, 2007) PKSS3 PKSS2
15 Hydrogeological Setting Domestic use Aquifer
16 Geology and Hydrogeology How does Paskapoo geology data help hydrogeological interpretation? area with undulating topography (~250 m of relief) and incised river valleys discrete sand packages on regional scale separated by low bulk hydraulic conductivities (shale and thin siltstone/sandstone) amalgamated sand aquifers control regional GW flow and pressure distribution
17 Laurus Energy Groundwater Monitoring Laurus completed detailed groundwater monitoring drilling program (geophysical well logs, pressure transducers, vibrating wire piezometers) data used for geology interpretation and hydrogeological numerical model enabled a detailed site specific hydrogeological assessment
18 Hydrogeologic Numerical Model Structure and isopach of geological units imported into model PKSS2 Present
19 Hydrogeologic Numerical Model Integration of geometry and hydraulic conductivity
20 Model Calibration Steady state results compared to measured hydrogeological data
21 Hydrogeologic Numerical Model Conclusions modeled geologic geometry and hydraulic conductivities result in a reasonable representation of the hydrogeological system discrete sand packages in the Paskapoo control regional groundwater flow gradients easily reproduced in numerical model with simple boundary conditions
22 Hydrogeology Assessment Conclusions Underground Coal Gasification has potential in Alberta and risks to groundwater can be minimized by a properly designed project project planning and site selection needs to involve a multi disciplined approach including detailed geologic mapping and hydrogeologic mapping in complex hydrogeological settings, good geological understanding at an appropriate scale simplifies the problem
